HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I traveled to Europe in 1993 — at the very same time as the Balkan Wars! I was in the middle of it, in France, Germany and the Netherlands, a major player in that epic struggle for freedom. If the Serbs had found me, in Paris, they would have surely paraded my head on a spike down the streets of, I dunno, Lyon? The…

But the stuff James Frey lied about was at least a little plausible, no?

“Any publicity is good publicity” must be her motto. If she REALLY wanted to have this garbage published while saving face (at least a little, because it is racist drivel after all) she could’ve changed the name and make herself a character in a story loosely based on actual events. A shitty white savior navel-gazing…

A lot of commenters are really missing the point that the mothers of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin*, Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and on and on and on managed not to attack any reporters even when they began flocking to report on their children’s deaths. There is another factor besides grief here, and it’s called whiteness.…

I understand that her son was dead and obviously she was grieving, and people often don’t like to see reporters at the scenes of tragedy, feeling like they’re vultures. I’ve actually held back a screaming friend when reporters showed up after our friends died.

I’m sure I’d be distraught if a family member had been shot. I might be angry at reporters calmly treating my anguish as a “story.” I’m certain I wouldn’t hurl slurs.

We are so fucked.

Until the end, I really didn’t think it would happen. I guess I was just being naive.

This is such a bad move, I’m so ashamed of my country. This move shows how hate can motivate people to make stupid decisions. Please remember that very nearly half of us didn't make this decision. I feel sick...

So, the British equivalent of our TEA Party morons got their way? This doesn’t bode well for our chances of avoiding Orangutan-In-Chief.

Re-posting this tweet I saw earlier. I can’t stop thinking about how a woman’s past vs a man’s potential is weighed out in nearly every rape and DV case in the news lately...

But it’s still not enough.

In the dark. As they rode by. They see the activity behind the dumpster. Something seems wrong about it to them. They turn back to investigate. They intervene. They call for help. They hold the perpetrator until the authorities arrive. They provide eyewitness testimony. They don’t seek the limelight, in fact they shun…

They are absolutely heros but how sad is it that we live in a world where two men who stop another man from raping an unconscious woman is considered heroic, rather than just normal, expected every day behaviour?

Already watched this once today but I think I’m gonna have to a few thousand more times

My daughter is almost 9 and she legit thinks that women are not allowed to be president because that must be why we haven’t had one by now. I’m going to let her stay up late tonight and watch.

She also once asked me who the first black president was. I said, Barack Obama, and she said “I know he is one of them, but…

My hormones are going crazy today and I’ve cried at every story about Hillary I’ve read this morning (I also cried at the video of everyone saluting Bretagne the 9/11 search dog as she walked into the vet’s office for the last time). Hillary wasn’t my first choice but Bernie has completely lost me the past few months…

I will never be a Clinton fan and I voted for Bernie in the state primary. That said, Bernie,
